SOME East Tennessee papers DENY tina,
Congressman Butler Is using his infu.
ence against the prohibition amendment
In the first congressional district. OF
course the Democratic prohibition papers
there prefer to believe the contrary, Blu,
the writer hereof knows that Judge But
Ter Is earnestly working against the
amendment and the papers aforesaid will
learn the fact and feel Il In due time. The
Judges written word Is our authority fol
the statement.
We clip the above from the last Issue
of the National Reriew. While upon Its
face 1t may bear the appearance of truth,
yet at the same time before the people OF
this congressional district can place faith
therein, we must have something more
substantial In proof thereof then the
mere word Of the editor Of the Reuieso,
Judge Butler as o member of the Legis-
lature In 1S84-5 voted to submit the
amendment In question to the people. and
he has within the past two weeks au.
thorized the editor Of the Bristol News to
deny In his name similar charges ap-
pearing in the Reoiep. Hon. r. r. But
Ter Is now our representative in congress
and his honor is our honor, and 1t be.
hooves his constituents to compel the par.
Ties making these charges to either prove
them or acknowledge the same to be I'm.
true. This being the case. we, as q rep.
resentative paper Of the First Congress.
ional district demand of the editor of the
RerieD that he either prove his asser-
tions or stand convicted as a slanderer.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Dlsordered liv.
err is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put ont
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food.
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this sad
business aud making the American peos
pie so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember.-No happiness will out
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the dys.
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.

For the purpose of keeping together In
a single number of Scribner's Magazine
the Thackery letters from America, which
form thelremaining instalment of those Sc,
lected by Mrs. Brookheld for publication
the editor has printed In the September
number all the rest of the English letters,
although the n or two which chrome.
logically followed the American letters
are thus made to precede them. For the
same reason he has also printed In this
instalment some recollections of Thack-
cray taken from unpublished manuscript
Of Miss Kate Perry, which Mrs. Brook.
field has arranged to accompany the
publication as q glimpse ''of his charm.
ing ways amongst his intimates," which
she felt would give pleasure to those who
had been interested in the letters. BY
this arrangement the concluding (October)
instalment will consist entirely of those
letters written from America in 1898.
Mrs. Brookield herself.has also contribu.
ted several thoroughly characteristic an.
ecdotes of Mr.. Thackeray to this number.
There are several fac SMILES and Thack.

1t amuses us to hear Jonesboro talk
about getting the G. c. & G. railroad.
If they ever get a North and South line
II will have to be an under ground or an
elevated road. Comet.
1t makes but little material difference
to the people of Joncsboro whether the
road that we get be an elevated or under.
ground railway, or whether 1t be built
over the line already surveyed, and which
meansa grade of 90 feet to the mile.
But one thing we can state, If we do get
1t we will sub-let the town section of the
road to the man who built the johnson
City water works. The character of the
work performed there is a sure guarantee
that the work here will be satisfactory.

JoNEsBoRO, TENN, AUG. 95, 1887
A Question OF which.

We have the highest authority for say.
Ing that the Tennessee delegation in the
National Republican Convention will be
almost unanimously for Senator Sherman.
inc south Is progressing Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette.
In commenting upon the above para.
graph the Knoxville Journal has this to
say
We have no hesitation in saving that
James G. Blaine Is the first choice of O
large majority of republicans In this state.
They believe that he would get as many
electoral votes as any other republican,
that he a be elected, and that they
would be delighted to again support him
at the ballot box.
Wherein lies The authority upon which
the Knoxville Journal bases Its right to
dictate as to who Is the choice Of the Re.
publicans of Tennessee for the presidency,
we fail to see. If the Cincinnati Com.
merctdl Gazette has no authority for the
statement that Tennessee Republicans
favor the nomination of Mr.. Sherman,
what authority has the Knoxville Journal
for the assertion that Tennessee Republi.
cans favor the nomination of Mr.. Blaine
We agree with the Journal when 1t saws
that the intelligent people of Tennessee are
the only real thigh authority" In the state
and at the same time we think that the
shoe which pinches the toes of one of our
esteemed contemporaries pinches those Of
the other as well. AS far as Mr.. Blaine
Is concerned, while we look upon him
as one Of the brightest minds prominen,
In the Republican party, at the same time
we fail to see upon what ground q claim
can be based that he would be the most
acceptable candidate that could be offered
to that party in Tennessee. AS far as our
own section is concerned, the First Con.
gressional district gave Mr.. Blaine in
1875, in National Convention, one vote,
In 1880, when he received 2 votes from
the state, this district gave him two uotes,
and In 1884, when he received II votes
from this state, this district gave him
three while the Second Congressional
District, In which the Journal Is printed
has never, II u memory fails us not,
given him a single vote. We, ourselves,
have for some time past been considering
the ~adviSability of presenting to the Ma.
tional Republican Convention by the
Tennessee delegation, the name Of that
w~hole,Souled, broad minded, amiable, ge.
NAL gentleman, Capt. William Rule,
editor of the Knoxville Journal. We
have refrained from mentioning this sim.
ply because we were very much afraid
lest some ass would come forward and
object to the gentle mans nomination,
and claim that 8 majority of Republicans
were for some other statesman. But now
the cat Is out Of the bag, and we shout
''hurrah'' for Capt. Rule.

The coroner's jury in the case of the
Chatworth. ILL.,, railway horror, agreed
ON a verdicto on Thursday last which holds
Timothy Coughlin. foreman of section
seven, to the grand jury and negatively
exhonorates the company. The manage.
ment Is not censured for running the
double header. for the lax system Of the
track inspector or for anything else. The
verdict simply says that the failure to
patrol the track for six hours before the
train came and the habit of burning grass
close TO the track is q subject for criticism.
Three or four friends of the road on the
jury had better staying qualities than two
or three of those who would fix a portion
OF the blame on the management.

The creosoting or preserving of pine
timber for docks and wharves and for the
construction of railroads has become one
of the great interests of the Atlantic
coast. The works of a large concern are
located at Wilmington, Del. and other
works are being constructed at Fernan.
dina, Fla. Yellow pine logs, sixty 10
ninety feet in length, are taken, placed in
the cylinder retorts, and forced full of
creosote. This treatment preserves the
timber against dry and wet rot, as well as
against the ravages of the tredo worm in
salt water. Millions of feet of timber for
cross-ties are sent to South America, and
there is q prospect that 5000, 900 feet or
more of lumber will be sent to France
within the next twelve months. The
works at Wilmington have a capacity for
creosoting 100, 1000 feet of timber a day.
G. p. Huntington is having a dry dock
constructed at Newport News (the largest
dry dock in this ~couAtry) the timber Of
which is creosoted.

That a communicating and foreighn eles

ton, is the u of rheumatism. This
settles upon the sensitive sub-cutaneous
covering of the muscles and ligaments of
the joints, causing constant and shifting

this, namely, that this medicine of COM

ment of Sherman
We most sincerely congratulate the
Republicans of the State of Ohio. They
have done nobly in deciding unanimous.
ly to present the name of Senator John
Sherman to the National Convention as
their choice for our next President. We
congratulate the Republicans of the
whole country in view of this action,
because of the great influence 1t is sure
to have in all quarters.
"There Is no man In the United States
who Is better qualified to fill that office
than Senator Sherman. He probably
knows more about the wants of the Ma.
ton at this critical time than any other
man whose name will be proposed as the
Presidential candidate of the party. His
long training In the House of Represen-
tatives and In the Senate, his valuable
help and experience as Secretary of the
Treasury and in giving shape to our
financial interests, his practical knowl-
edge of all parliamentary affairs, obtained
while acting as our Vice President
all these things, we affirm, place Sena.
tor Sherman in the front rank among the
ablest men Of the Nation aEsd, of the age.
eff John Sherman can be nominated
by the Republican party coupled with
such a name on the ticket as that of Sena
tor Joseph r. Hawley for Vice President,
the entire party could and would rally to
to its support. VIZ stand ready to work
with q will for the election of such men
as we have named. There would be
again peace and union in the party such
as has not existed for years, and all good
men would be enthusiastic, as of old, in
its support"
